Don’t worry though, we’ve got plenty of crafty valentine’s ideas to help make this year extra romantic because your special someone deserves a special day. 

So, whether you’re looking for the best valentine’s gifts for her, isolation date ideas, or cute things to get your boyfriend, we believe crafting can help you out. No seriously, hear us out…

Craft boxes and online classes make for romantic lockdown indoor activities for Valentine's Day, or can be given as unique gifts and more generally, are a wonderful way to enjoy each other’s company. 

If we have yet to convince you, have a read of our top five ideas for Valentine’s Day below. Each idea can either be given as an experience as a gift or enjoyed together as a romantic activity for the special day! 

1. Try some passionate pottery at home

DIY pottery is the perfect way to relax, unwind and create. Not only that, but it’s a great activity for two creative minds who want to get a little closer. As you mould and shape your pottery piece, you’ll laugh, enjoy each other’s company all whilst in the comfort and privacy of your own home. 

Or, if you’ve yet to ‘bubble up’ together and are looking for Zoom date ideas, then an online class and the pottery starter kit is a great way to break the ice and get to know one another virtually in a relaxed and enjoyable way! You’re welcome.

If you’re stuck looking for Valentine’s day gifts for him or for her, a pottery at home kit is a universal and unique gift that will likely be more appreciated than another bouquet of flowers or bottle of wine!

2. Cook your way into their heart with a cooking kit

If you don’t fancy getting messy with a typical craft and are looking for laid back Valentine’s ideas that will still surprise and wow your partner, we have just the thing. 

Cooking, although an everyday part of life, is actually incredibly romantic. The simple act of crafting a delicious meal and enjoying it together is a wonderful way to create romantic memories and enjoy one another’s company. 

With a cooking kit and online class, you can transform what may feel like an everyday part of life into a special event. Plus, with the help of an expert chef and all the right ingredients, the delicious dish you create is sure to tantalise your tastebuds and transport you both to a Michelin starred restaurant - without the price tag! Plus, you’ll both feel accomplishment having cooked up the cuisine yourselves. 

A cooking class online and cooking kit can be given as an experience gift or enjoyed in place of going to a restaurant (which are usually all booked up on Valentine’s Day anyway!).

3. Make a DIY terrarium together 

When it comes to unique valentine’s ideas, we know what we’re talking about. We’re betting you haven’t thought of attempting a DIY terrarium workshop for Valentine’s Day before, but now you have, we think you’ll be convinced to give it a try. 

Terrariums are adorable mini-jungles that are actually self-sufficient meaning you won’t be taking on any plant caring responsibilities! They’re a little eco-system of plants encased in a glass container and look great as a centrepiece on any coffee table. 

Not only are glass terrariums a beautiful accessory to any home or apartment, but they also make for unique and unusual valentine’s gifts and making one can be a really fun craft to enjoy with your partner. Whether you give the terrarium itself or the experience as a gift, it’s a cute valentine’s day gift that will be cherished! From picking and preparing the perfect plants for the DIY terrarium to shaping them into a unique design, crafting can be a fun and relaxing way to spend some quality time together while creating some unique DIY home decor.  

4. Light a fire in their heart with a soy candle making kit

A night in cosying up as you make your own candles has the word romantic written all over it. So, if you need an amorous activity or romantic gifts for her or him, then look no further. 

With candle making at home, you don’t need any experience or skills - all you need is an open mind and willingness to have fun! As you craft and curate you own homemade candles, you’ll both start to unwind and relax in each other’s company, which is why this is such a perfect date night at home activity! 

The best part? With soy candle making kits and online class, you can get creative and enjoy this unique virtual experience in the comfort of your home. As your candles burn down, they will be hard at work creating a romantic ambience around your home, which makes for the perfect date night in. If you choose a scented candle kit, you’ll also have some relaxing scents filling the air! 

5. Paint your muse with a paint and sip kit

Whether you choose a standard painting kit or a paint and sip kit complete with a bottle of vino, you and your partner can enjoy each other’s company and create something beautiful at the same time. When it comes to unique Valentine’s gifts for her or him, a painting class online and a craft kit is a great way to give your loved someone something a little different. 

In addition, if you enjoy the paint and sip kit, you’ll end up with lots of cool decor pieces to put around your home and they will act as a reminder for the romantic evening you spent together! Paint and sip kits and virtual classes also work well as an experience gift. With online classes, you can sit back in the comfort of your own home and learn how to paint while enjoying each other’s company all at once! Crafting and painting is an excellent way to bond with your special someone, making it ideal for Valentine’s Day!
